Arsenal stars were out in force on Thursday night as they attended the Arsenal Foundation’s annual charity fundraiser a day after their disappointing stalemate with Sunderland.

The Gunners were held to a goalless draw by Dick Advocaat’s dogged side, who ensured their Premier League survival with a point, but Arsene Wenger’s side were back at the Emirates for a far more relaxed evening as the club hosted its ‘Night to Inspire’ event.

The evening, held in conjunction with the club’s global charity partner Save the Children, kicked off with members of the squad being led on to the stage by Aaron Ramsey and Theo Walcott before manager Arsene Wenger opened with a short speech.

The Arsenal Foundation was launched in 2012 and has since committed more than £1million to support charitable projects in the UK and overseas that aim to give under privileged young people the chance to thrive.
